Airline and stops
Wizz Air Malta operates this route with one stop on the outbound leg. Not a direct flight, so it adds travel time, but the price makes up for it. Wizz Air runs a no-frills model: limited baggage on base fares, but you can upgrade as needed.
Best time to visit
The Azores have Atlantic weather: rain in winter, but mild temperatures year-round. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the best balance of climate and fewer crowds. Summer (June–August) draws more visitors and higher fares. For nature without the rush, aim for April–May or September–October.
What to do when you arrive
The Azores are a hiking, whale-watching and volcanic landscape destination. São Miguel island (where you land in Ponta Delgada) holds most attractions: Lake Santiago da Lagoa, Sete Cidades caldera and Capelinhos volcano. You don't need a car: local buses and tours cover everything, fares around €2 for a single ticket.
